people, dfsg, fsf, free, non-free all deal with _software_. i think
that the people who try to expand the free-software concept to
documentation are misguided (although i can see a scenario where by
changing the software you also need to change the documentation). in
no way, shape, or form do i think anybody should have the right to
edit somebody else's political statement.

the WHY-FREE manifesto is the cornerstone of the whole free software
movement (including debian) and as such it should be immutable (and,
of course, included in debian).
